Faculty of Agro-Industry, Chiang Mai University Opens a Global Platform with FAB2026 to Drive the Future of Modern Food Systems

The Faculty of Agro-Industry, Chiang Mai University, welcomed researchers, academics, and experts in food and applied bioscience from around the world to the 8th International Conference on Food and Applied Bioscience 2026 (FAB2026), held under the theme “The Food Singularity: Converging Sustainable AgriTech to Frontier Food Era.” The conference took place on 5–6 February 2026 at The Empress Hotel, Chiang Mai, Thailand, serving as an international platform for the exchange of knowledge, innovation, and collaboration in food technology and applied bioscience amid the growing challenges facing global food systems in the new century.

The opening ceremony of FAB2026 was held on 5 February 2026 and was presided over by Professor Dr. Pongruk Sribanditmongkol, M.D., President of Chiang Mai University, who officially declared the conference open. The event also featured a report on the conference objectives delivered by Associate Professor Dr. Yuthana Phimolsiripol, Dean of the Faculty of Agro-Industry. The ceremony was attended by Chiang Mai University executives, faculty members, researchers, students, and international participants.

FAB has been continuously recognized as a leading international academic conference, building on the success of its previous seven editions. It has served as a hub for presenting cutting-edge research and as a vital platform for fostering collaborative networks among researchers, academics, experts, students, and industry partners from around the world. This year’s theme, “The Food Singularity,” reflects a critical turning point in global food systems, where sustainable agricultural technologies (Sustainable AgriTech) and frontier food innovations are converging to address key global challenges such as food security, climate change, efficient resource utilization, and equitable access to quality nutrition.

In addition, 2026 marks the first year that FAB has hosted the CNX Food and Applied Science Invention & Exhibition (CNX FINEX) alongside the academic conference. This initiative emphasizes the translation of research into real-world applications and provides an important platform for students, young researchers, and innovators to participate in competitions and present innovative ideas and solutions designed to meet the needs of future food systems.

FAB2026 offered participants opportunities to present and exchange research across a wide range of disciplines, including nutrition science for health, sustainable bioresource processing technologies, future food and product innovations, international food safety standards, micro-level biological systems for food production, and packaging design aligned with sustainability and circular economy concepts. The conference also highlighted the importance of transforming research into practical applications through collaboration among academic institutions, research networks, and industry partners, with the shared goal of developing long-term, sustainable solutions for food systems across environmental, economic, and social dimensions.
